Upon listening to Joanne Hindley-Smith Crabtree's CD "All
The Good Times", it's obvious right from the get-go that here is a woman
who loves music!

"All The Good Times" showcases a woman who comfortably crosses musical
borders and respectfully delivers every idiom she chooses to present. As an
added surprise she easily marries styles blending one genre into another,
creating a unique backdrop for her strong and distinctive voice. Joanne draws
from a varied musical library referencing sounds of traditional and contemporary
folk, dance-hall swings, acappella and barrelhouse blues, gospel blues and
dixieland. The images she conjures up are reminiscent of the delta and the
mountains, country lanes and seaside docks, rural back roads and downtown
sidewalks. Expertly produced and led by Paul Mills, and accompanied by some
of Canada's finest players, every song on "All The Good Times" becomes
a musical stage highlighting the voice that is 100% pure Joanne Hindley-Smith
Crabtree.

Tom Leighton (the other half of the dazzling duo) says:

"All the Good Times" is a celebration of a lifetime
of music. It covers
lots of styles and influences, all of them well recorded and sung. The
title song deceptively conceals (or should it be "contains"??) my
favorite
version of House of the Rising Sun. It's brilliant.

Paul Mills (aka Curly
Boy Stubbs) says:

Great songs passionately delivered by someone who's been there.

John Cleese (of Monty Python)
says:

There are many styles of songs here (on the CD All The
Good Times) and Joanne's rich, mellow voice suits them all - a wonderful album.

Lillian Wauthier says:

What makes Joanne an interesting performer is her warmth on stage, her lovely
voice, her sense of history, her beautiful originals and her individualistic
interpretation of others' songs, including the older ballads. She has a wonderful
sense of the meaning behind a song and the appropriate nuances and inflections
to impart the song in the most passionate way. Her songs tell stories and
Joanne tells them in an interesting way, one which captivates the audiences'
attention.
